WH press secretary locked out of Twitter for sharing Post’s Hunter Biden story
NY Post ^ | October 14, 2020 | 7:06pm | Steven Nelson

White House Press Secretary Kayleigh McEnany on Wednesday was locked out of her personal Twitter account for sharing The Post’s bombshell cover story on Hunter Biden’s alleged hard drive and an email linking Joe Biden to his son’s job at a Ukrainian energy company.

“Your account has been locked,” a message from the social media network informed McEnany, whose account has more than 1 million followers.

“We have determined that this account violated the Twitter Rules,” the network said, highlighting her prior tweet with a link to The Post’s article.

Without providing any evidence, Twitter said McEnany — who shared a screenshot with The Post — violated “our rules against distribution of hacked material.”

McEnany told The Post she will not comply with Twitter’s request that she delete her tweet to restore access to her account.

She will tear them a new one.

By banning political speech during the height of the election, Twitter is doing two things.
1. Fanning the anger of conservatives, who will be even more fueled to go to the polls.
2. Raising the visibility of the Biden emails by having news sources on the internet write about it. Nothing makes people *more* interested in something than trying to prevent them from seeing it.

May Twitter go the way of AOL.

Note that Twitter is using a fake reason. There is no evidence that the contents of the hard disk were obtained by hacking.

Abandoning your hard disk at a repair shop has nothing to do with hacking.

Twitter has no problem with leaked tax returns, leaked government secrets, hacked or not, but as soon as the information looks bad for a Democrat they censor it.

They’re going to be sorry they ever took on da Post.

The current Murdoch is much more leftist than his father, but even so...da Post does not like to be mocked. It’s the oldest paper in NY and perhaps even the oldest continuously published paper in the US.

Everybody who has taken it on has had to back down.

Their attempts to silence Conservatives and be enablers to Democrats has become glaringly obvious.

Twitter is going to rue the day. Meanwhile, go to parler. And instead of YouTube, go to Rumble. Let the lefties have it.

Something needs to be done about this immediately - by executive order, if necessary.

Break them up.
Freeze their assets.
Declare them an enemy of the American people.
Whatever it takes.

This is not acceptable.

Exactly.

So now twitter is claiming that they can suppress news based on the WAY a media organization (and the NY Post is as much a media org as the NY Times) gets a news source?

No way!

It doesn’t fly an inch.

So where’s all the collective vanguard of the free press getting up in arms over this suppression?

Huh? ***crickets***

Twitter has probably given up on Biden damage control to save Biden, and are now doing Twitter damage control to save Twitter. Every man for themselves.
